Guide Labs open-sources Steerling-8B, a new interpretable LLM that traces every token to source

San Francisco startup Guide Labs has open-sourced Steerling-8B, an 8-billion parameter language model built with a novel architecture that makes every generated token traceable to its training data origins. Founded by Julius Adebayo and Aya Abdelsalam Ismail, the company aims to solve AI's black box problem by engineering interpretability directly into the model rather than analyzing it post-hoc.

AI Coding Assistant Cline Hit by Supply Chain Attack That Installed OpenClaw on Developers' Machines

The open-source AI coding assistant Cline fell victim to a software supply chain attack on February 17, 2026, when attackers used a compromised npm token to publish a malicious update. The breach installed OpenClaw—an autonomous AI agent platform—on approximately 4,000 developer systems during an eight-hour window. Security researchers traced the attack to a prompt injection vulnerability that allowed threat actors to steal publication credentials.
